1t is this fatal blindness to the
historic right and wrong OF the great
conflict that dictated the action OF
the President which made the G. A.
r. beat the long roll of alarm and
and Indignation in protest. The
President fnils to understand that
while the Union veteran today
claps the hand of the Confederate in
warm fellowship, IGNORING him for
the valor that put up his life for his
cause, for the manly truth that makes
him to-day keep both the letter and
spirit of his oath, he can not afford
by equivocal cnnduct or expression
to confuse the two causes without
making himself the exponent of q
false and dangerous education.

There is at least one agreeable
feature Of the ugly flag business.
The return of those furled banners
were not asked for by the men who
lost them, their return was not
Matched by the men who fought on
the confederate side, and so we
have no quarrel with the boys who
wore the gray. The affair is between
those northern men who stand with
the boys who wore the blue and
those who don't. The President
and his secretary at War are North
em men, and Scapegoat Drum, if he
must come in for share of the
blame, is a Pennsylvaian.

The Trade with Greenland.

But the days of the noble old clippers
the sea about the ships that trade with
Greenland. He and a business associate
own seven vessels engaged in this strange
trade. No other American commercial
vessels go to the far off land of Kane, Sir
John Franklin and so many other gallant
men who have braved the rigors of its
highest ATTITUDES. The vessels go out in
ballast, for although Greenland imports
wheat, brandy, coffee, sugar, tobacco and
firewood, it is not from this country.
They bring back metal termed cryolte,
which they obtain at port called Ivigtut,
on the southwest coast of Greenland.
1t is bleak country, even in the short
summer, during two months of which, in
June and July, the sun is always above
the horizon. Moses, stunted shrubs,
dwarfish trees and huckleberry bushes are
about the only vegetation, and the bare
mountains, in the grip of great glaciers,
and the generally dead and desolate as
pect of the country make it appear as
strange and unreal as that gray corpse of
a world, the moon. Cryolite looks like ice,
and hence the name signifies ice stone. 1t
is all taken to Philadelphia, and is used in
manufacturing soda, alum, I've, porcelain
piano keys, door knobs, clock dials and
other articles. The seven barks in the
trade each carry about 500 tons of this
strange mineral, and make fourteen voy
ages in a year. Last year they brought
S400 tons to this country.-Oscar VIII

A Druge-ist,s Rlunder,

''Talking about the accidental killing of
people, :" said gentleman who holds re-
sponsible position in the railroad employ
81 had a narrow escape from being on the
list of killers. 1t was when I was clerk
in a drug store. One night doctor
came and woke me out of sound sleep
to prepare morphine powders for an told
Mexican named Francisco, who had been
sick for some time l weighed out the
morphine and put it up according to
direction, but thought while 1 was doing
so that the powder seemed to be unusual
ly large. Next morning, when l was ar
ranging things n the store, found that
there was ten grain weight in the scale
beneath the one the prescription called
for, and each of those powders was ten
grains too large!
ga cold chill ran down my back when !
realized the mistake, for it meant almost
certain death. A short time afterward
the doctor came in, and / thought my
time had come. Bracing up as well as
possible, asked: How is Francisco this
morning, doctor" He's deadr Did
those powders kill himg Istammered out.
and in fear and trembling awaited the
answer, but the first word relieved me:
No, the powders had nothing TO do with
it. He died half an hour before they got
therep Sacramento Record Union.

Pastimes of Japanese Children.


Japanese children have an infinite
variety of sports, too varied for mention
in an article of this length. Bows devote
themselves to kite flying in the spring
months, when the winds prevail. There
are singing and whistling kites in the
shape of birds, animals and men, Men
even spend days flying monster kites so
large that it takes a stout rope to hold
them. Boys also spin tops, play soldier
wrestle and practice at all kinds of athletic
exercises. The fifth days of the fifth
months of each year are boys festival
days on which the younger sons of the
family have presents of flags decorated
with representations of the daring deeds
of the great men of the country, and espe-
cially of those OF their ancestors who have
been noted for bravery or wisdom.
On this day and for weeks afterward
the whole country presents a strange ap-
pearance. Every house that has bows in
the family erects flagstaff to which a
large cloth fish is suspended. Some of
these are thirty or forty feet in length,
and when they are inflated by the breeze
look like fish swimming in the water
These fish flags represent the carp, which
has the reputation of being the most
active, daring and persistent of all fish.
These are qualities which boys are taught
to emulate. Girls play battledore and
become very skillful at it, and they are as
much devoted to their dolls as their little
sisters of other races The third day of
the third month is the doll festival, when
every little girl receives presents of dolls
from all her friends and has doll show
in her house There are also beautiful
exhibitions of dressed dolls on certain
streets in all the towns and cities, and the
whole population turns out to celebrate
the day and entertain the little folks

THE NEWS.

The Planter brings several days later
news from the Coast. There is paucity
of startling events, but the opinion is
steadily growing in Europe that gen
eral war is inevitable. 1t is said that
Germany is fully prepared for war,
while France, with all the talk, is not in
so forward condition. Military authori-
ties think that Germany will strike the
first blow, and is only waiting for Rus
STA and Austria to be engaged.
A plot to assassinate the Gar has
been discovered, and several arrests
have been made. 1t is supposed that
students were detailed to perpetrate the
deed, as dynamite was found on those
arrested. The Car has again gone into
retirement. Whether this will incite
him to declare war for the purpose of
creating diversion from home affairs,
or will have an opposite effect it is i'm
possible to say. Russia has its army on
war footing, and is ready to take the
field at any time. The only difficulty in
it's case appears to be to select the field
of operations.
Austria is pushing on with its arma-
ments as rapidly as possible, but should
Russia attack the eastern frontiers of its
rival the Vienna Government might
still be taken at disadvantage. Bull
garia is armed and ready for the fray,
and should that principality, together
with Servia and Roumania, join Austria,
the Russians would have their work cut
out for them in that region for the BAL
ance of the year. But the chances are
that Roumania, for prudential reasons,
will espouse the Russian cause, in which
case the fight would be more even
handed. Russia is bringing pressure
upon the Sultan to interfere in Bulgarian
affairs.
From England we have news to the
effect that the Irish national cause is
growing in strength. Mr.. Gladstone
made great speech on the 18th March,
in which he besought Lord Salisbury to
awake from his dream and accept sug-
gestions and aid in the settlement of the
Irish question. He would devote the
balance of his public life, Mr.. Gladstone
said, to the Irish cause if the de-
mand for Home Rule was limited
to Irish affairs, but the suprem-
acy of the Imperial Parliament
must be preserved. He also thought
that the Irish land question could yet be
settled satisfactorily. The Government
seems to have weakened on its coercion
programme. Mr.. Parnell will not con-
sent to exempt Ulster from the control
of an Irish Parliament, and insists upon
the preservation of law and order being
entrusted to that body. Chamberlain is
without following, and cannot force his
views upon Gladstone and his friends.

ADrnmmer Roy Coming.

Major r. H. Henderson,, the drum.
mer boy of the Rappahannock, is prob
ably on his way to Honolulu on the
steamship Australia. While here he
will give two or three exhibitions of his
skill on the drum. Everywhere through.
out America his wonderful playing has
excited unbounded enthusiasm. He
gives thrilling limitations of battles.
skirmishes, camp life, railroad trains,
etc. He has an interesting history. He
was only twelve years of age when he
enlisted as a drummer in the Ninth
Michigan Infantry, August u, 1861.
From the outset he showed great BRAY
cry and faithfulness to all his duties, and
was taken prisoner at Murfreesboro.
Tennessee, July Is, 1862, paroled and
discharged. He at once re-enlisted in
the Eighth Michigan Infantry, and soon
afterward distinguished himself for life
by his patriotic conduct at the battle of
Frederi cksburg, Va, being at the time
scarcely thirteen years old.

British Affairs.

New YORK, March 18th.-A London
cable special of the 18th says: AT the an
nual banquet of the London League to-
night, Henry Labouchere responded to the
toast, ireland, nation" He said: 1--WE
are told the crushed worm would turn
upon his oppressor, but if the worm had a
little more backbone and common sense
it would turn before it was crushed. Yeu
are threatened with fresh Coercion Act
for Ireland, but as it has been with former
Coercion Acts SO it will be with this one.
You have wandered long in the desert, but
the promised land is now in sight Only
be true to yourself and the past, and you
must soon enter that promised land"
LONDON, March 17th.-The feature of the
observation of st. Patrick's Day in Eng
land was the appearance of many Eng
ishmeR wearing the shamrock. A sleet
and snowstorm stopped all outdoor dem
onstrations in honor of the day. Glad
stone made great speech at dinner
given tonight by the Yorkshire members,
when he spoke hopefully of Irish Home
Rule.
